Micro framework that just pulls the world using Maven. I'm not sure you understand what "micro" really means.

A microframework is a framework whose API has a low surface area. It's not especially feature rich, but is conceptually lightweight and lets you get moving quickly.
A microservice is a small service that performs a well defined job with limited scope, and (generally) which runs as its own OS process - not depending on something like a j2ee application server.
These are pretty standard industry terms these days.
I won't make any definitive claim about what the OP really means. But this does seem to be a microframework for writing microservices.
